The robot arm accurately grabs the product, the AGV unmanned vehicle shuttles back and forth, and the large screen displays the production line data in real time... Since the Spring Festival, the 5G smart factory in Xinghuo Silicone Industrial Park in Yongxiu County, Jiangxi Province, has been a busy scene. In the spring, it shows the vitality and vitality of this "silicone city".
Yongxiu's relationship with silicone began in the late 1960s. The builders of that year, relying on simple equipment, lit the "star fire" of Yongxiu silicone industry. In 1991, Jiangxi Spark Plant built a 10,000-ton silicone plant in Yongxiu. After more than half a century of development, Yongxiu silicone industry from scratch, from small to large, currently gathers more than 160 upstream and downstream and supporting enterprises, becoming the most complete production base of domestic silicone industrial chain, awarded China's top 100 industrial clusters.
The silicone City has had its share of downturns and confusion. In the face of difficulties and challenges, Yongxiu's successive county Party committees and county governments have always been confident and determined to introduce a series of supportive policies to reduce the burden on enterprises, stabilize the development expectations of enterprises, and actively help enterprises to explore the market and find new development opportunities.
"In Yongxiu, every leadership team is like a relay race, taking over the 'baton' of the development of silicone industry and running out of the 'acceleration' of industrial development." In the view of Qinling, secretary of the Party Committee of Yongxiu County, industrial development is not a success overnight, we must maintain industrial concentration, accumulate small wins for big wins, and promote the industry to become bigger and stronger for a long time.
"This year's government work report proposed that 'develop new quality productivity according to local conditions and accelerate the construction of a modern industrial system', Yongxiu County will continue to rely on the 'twin engines' of scientific and technological innovation and industrial innovation, and continue to find the top." Yongxiu County silicone innovation research Institute operations center director Ma Peizhi said.
Established in 2017, Yongxiu County Silicone Innovation Research Institute has played an increasingly obvious role in technology research and development, technology transfer, project incubation, technical training and other aspects in recent years.
"The purpose of establishing the institute is to open up the 'industrial chain' through the 'innovation chain', activate the 'development chain' and improve the 'ecological chain'." "The second phase of the institute is under construction and is expected to be completed in June," Mr. Ma said.
In order to promote the high-quality development of the silicone industry, Yongxiu County has also in-depth implemented the "three-year doubling action of the silicone industry", and innovatively created three platforms of silicone pilot base, provincial "industrial brain" and provincial testing center to meet the scientific research needs and production needs of silicone enterprises such as product information sharing, pilot testing, technology research and development, inspection and testing. At present, the silicone pilot base and the provincial testing center have been fully completed, and the construction of the provincial "industrial brain" has begun.
Into the Spark silicone Industrial Park product display area, from aerospace sealant to cosmetics, from medical catheters to baby pacifiers, silicone has been widely used in daily life. In fact, silicone, commonly known as "industrial MSG", has tens of thousands of downstream products.
The expanding market demand has forced Yongxiu County to improve the industrial ecology and promote the development of the silicone industry to high-end, intelligent and green.
